How the World’s Most Successful People View Fear, with special guest Joe Gianni

Fear is something that all of us deal with in our lives, at some point in time. However, the question is: how can we use it to energize us and not debilitate us? Sean Johnson sits down with Joe Gianni, President and CEO of 2logical, to discuss fear and how it can lead us to success if we use it the right way. Fear is often viewed as a very complex concept, when in fact, it is quite simple. There are two main ways that people handle fear: they either let it energize them, or they let it debilitate them. Energizers of fear use it to help them grow and push them to reach outside of their comfort zone. People who let fear debilitate them use fear as a way to stop any sort of progress and are likely to stay in the same exact place, where they are comfortable!

While feeling comfortable may be easier for most of us, it is being uncomfortable and outside of your comfort zone that really pushes you to grow and change! Throughout this podcast episode, Joe and Sean discuss how learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable can completely change your mindset and help you reach your goals. “Most people go through life searching for a place to be comfortable. They want to be comfortable in relationships. They want to be comfortable in their work. They want to be comfortable in their finances. They want to be comfortable. But the truth of the matter is that we don’t achieve high levels of success in any of those areas of life or in any area of life, any aspect of life, without constantly having the emotion of fear being triggered,” says Joe.  Want to learn how to transform fear from being your enemy to being your friend?
